It wouldn’t surprise me if this doll’s sculpt has been making the rounds since our childhoods! It’s pretty outdated — not that that’s unusual among cheap dolls.

And your input regarding the site is appreciated! While I’m looking for ways to appeal to new readers and get more content onto SC, I definitely don’t want to alienate longtime readers (and you’re one of our oldest readers who’s still around and comments regularly :)). What would probably happen is that articles would still be posted about as regularly as they are now — maybe an average of 1.5 every 2 weeks (though I’d like to improve that) — but there would be additional shorter pieces on the blog to fill the gaps, like quickie toy reviews and sketches and such. Part of the reason articles don’t appear that often is that I feel like they need to be substantial pieces (in part because the layout makes them seem particularly sparse if they’re not), so it takes me a while and a lot of effort to compose them to my liking. But with blog entries, even a comment response like this feels pretty robust and I wrote it in a few minutes. 🙂 And I am thinking of switching the haiku to the blog for the same reason — they don’t feel like substantial enough content to occupy full pages (though I guess I could post them in sets of 5+ to remedy that). We’ll see.

But basically, I’m thinking the changes would be like what happened with X-Entertainment… except I definitely don’t want to favor the blog to the point of ultimately ditching the article format altogether.

I actually don’t mind that! I think things without noses kinda rule. XD
